NAME

FvwmPrompt - a command-shell for fvwm3

SYNOPSIS

FvwmPrompt <options>

DESCRIPTION

FvwmPrompt accepts the following command-line arguments:

FvwmPrompt [-p <prompt>]

FvwmPrompt provides a minimal shell for sending commands to fvwm3 — with the history of previous commands remembered for easier repetition.

The prompt can be changed, although by default the FvwmPrompt interface looks like the following:

*FvwmPrompt 1.0.1 (1.0.0-49-g845f28d85-dirty)
Press ^D or type 'exit' to end this session
>>>

PREREQUISITES

FvwmMFL(1) must be spawned by fvwm3 otherwise FvwmPrompt will not start. For example:

AddToFunc StartFunction I Module FvwmMFL

COMPARISONS TO FVWMCONSOLE

Unlike FvwmConsole, FvwmPrompt doesn’t need to be spawned via a terminal (such as xterm) but acts as a standalone program, and can be run from any terminal the user choses.
